The NBA Sucks

I think I'm done with the NBA. I just can't fool myself into believing that I care about any team other than the Pistons. This Finals wasn't even interesting enough for me to watch one game. I just didn't care. Reading about kids bedding, or watching paint dry would probably be more interesting to me at this point. The league just isn't fun to watch anymore. Teams aren't that good and the rules are getting to the point that breathing is a foul. Guess it saves me some time I suppose. One less season I have to care about.

Billups Throwing Games?

This guy has been terrible in this series against the Cavs. Thought that he may have been on his way to getting back into the game yesterday when he had 18 in the first half, but he clearly was chucking and throwing the ball away repeatedly in the 2nd half. He made some of the worst mistakes of the game in the final 3 minutes, such as chucking up an off balanced 3 when they were down 3 under 2 minutes. Turned the ball over several times and is just playing like he is on his way to finding an Orlando vacation home sooner than later. His assist to turnover ratio is laughable. He has been one of the best in the league with this ratio for the past few years, but has become insanely sloppy in this playoffs. Just not sure what else to make of the guy except that he could be throwing games...lol

HE is looking for a new contract this off season and it is said that he will likely get close to a max deal. I guess he really wants out of the D or something with his shotty play.

Pistons vs. Cavs

Keep hearing about how boring this series is. I can't say I disagree, but I expected it to be this wy anyways. Cleveland and Detroit are pretty good defensive teams so the scoring won't be up there. The cavs have nothing. Lebron playing PG is a sure way to get the Cavs an early Kissimmee vacation. The best player on the floor has to bring the ball up and pass it to guys that suck. Not a great gameplan.

The Pistons aren't playing real well either really. They like to play down to their opponents and come out soft. Seems like they like to nap in the first half and then just take control in the 2nd. Cleveland could/should have won the first 2 games, but the Pistons' experience it going to be too much for them. I don't see this going more than 5 games. Especially with thh joke of a coach Mike Brown is for the Cavs.

Jason Maxiell eats babies

Best song ever in this one too...



Guy was a monster in that last game. Singlehandedly kept the Pistons in it with his energy. He may have needed some student loan consolidation going into this year as a late draft pick, but he may earn himself a nice contract soon. This guy is a Ben Wallace energy guy and a monster shot blocker. Shoots FTs like Ben, but actually can shoot a little bit so he is nice to have off the bench.

Pistons Go Up 3-0 on Bulls

Amazing game last night. Pistons were getting destroyed in the first half and were down as much as 19 points in the 3rd quarter only to come from behind to pull off another win and remain undefeated in the 2007 NBA playoffs. Tayshaun chimed in with 23 to lead the Bad Boys. They ended up winning the game by 7 and pretty much taking the wind out of the Bulls sails. This one is over. The Bulls are already booking their Orlando vacation rental. Should have tdone it sooner. There was no way they were going to the next round.

Get ready for King James and some other guys you never heard of. They got a bye to the Conference Finals pretty much with their schedule. Surprised Jersey isn't giving them problems, but they aren't that great either.

Pistons-Bulls Begins Tomorrow

A classic NBA rivalry begins tomorrow int he NBA playoffs between my Detroit Pistons and the upstart Chicago Bulls. The Pistons are the top ranked team in the Eastern Conference and will take on the old rival that stole away the face of the Detroit Pistons in Ben Wallace during the off season by giving him $60 Mil over 4 years.

I hated to see Big Ben go, but he is on the decline and the Bulls certainly overpaid by a bundle. Even with out him the Pistons still took the top record in the conference and seem to be even better than they were with him here. Signing Chris Webber after he was cut earlier in the year didn't hurt a whole lot either.

This is one of those series you would expect Detroit to win, but the Bulls are a nag and will put up a good fight. These are the kind of teams Detroit always seems to have problems with and take them a bit lightly. This year though you can expect that they will be ready playing against their former star Big Ben. Know as "The Body" by the rest of the league he is a defensive superstar, but a very weak offensive player. His workout regimen is matched by none and may even include the Best Diet Pills around. He's more of a clean up guy on the offensive glass and the last thing you want it him to be on the FT line.

This series "should" only go about 5 games in my opinion, but the Pistons do like to take a game off here and there. That last series sweep was their first since back in the Bad Boy era i believe so that shows right there they don't seem to get up for every game. Probably due for a snoozer in Game 1 so they can lose their home court advantage and make it more difficult on themselves.

I'd like to think they will win in 5, but knowing this team the way I do I think it will go to 6 games.

Dirk Nowitski is a Bum

This guy only threw up what 13 shots yesterday? He's supposed to be MVP of the league and he doesn't even shoot 20 shots in an elimination game? Dude only scored 8 points in the game and just was invisible. Terrible show for the guy.

So the Mavs make history by being the only #1 seed to lose to a #8 seed in NBA history. 67 wins and 15 losses on the year going into the playoffs. Total choke job. Worst upset in NBA history.

Have to give a ton of credit to the Warriors though. The Mavs had no answer for them all year. I think the Warriors won 10 of 11 games they played this season. Baron Davis was unreal. The guy is so good. So smooth. Just made everything look effortless int he series. Stephen Jackson surprised me a bit in this series with how well he played. Thug Life got it done so he has to get some props as well. Jason Richardson is just an athletic freak and tore the Mavs a new one.

Dirk may be in a new uni next season i think. The guy just isn't getting it done int he playoffs. Starting to look like one of those soft Euros we all like to rag on so much. Dirk may need some Cialis to get it rolling in the bedroom after this stripping of his manhood.
